Enjoy the celebrations but keep Topanga safe. Fireworks are illegal in Santa Monica Mountains!
Fireworks possess a special ability to mesmerize and enrapture people with its vibrant, sizzling colors and awe-inspiring display—truly evoking a sense of wonder and unity.
But for Topanga, fireworks can pose a life-threatening risk—and it’s illegal. Not only is Topanga designated a Severe High Fire Risk area, it is also one of the most difficult areas in the state to defend in a wildfire. And we all know, it only takes a spark.
